Actually, we should halve the infrared array. It’s so “bright” that it washes out the colors of the streaming cam. And it’s like a mini heat lamp. D perches under it in cold weather but avoids it in hot weather.

Clarification/correction about the infrared array. It has a light sensor so it’s only on in the dark. (I forgot that I’ve actually seen it turn on & off.) Meanwhile the streaming camera image is poor for reasons of its own. I emailed Bill Powers at Pix Controller & he says it looks like we’ll have to replace the camera for next year’s season.
